This will depend on where and to what extent they are rotten.  If only
the upper inch or so and the joist at the wall is in okay shape then you
might be able to sister on a new piece.
However, this repair only works when the joist are not too damaged and
when the condition at the wall is still good.  
You should get the condition evaluated by an engineer who can advise on
repairs -- and who will then assume most of the liability if something
goes wrong.
